Laura finally gets her patio swing.

She is my best friend, my wife, Laura, for the last 32 years. She misses the front porch swing she had at her home in Jenner, PA. We finally have a place to install a swing, and this was my summer project. The swing is about five feet wide and is made of sassafras and walnut. It was finished with three coats of spar varnish. Now we can watch our garden grow.

The legs were there temporarily. I used them to permit proper orientation of the chair. With this set up, I spotted the chair in position on the patio and then hung the cables. Once the cables were in place, I removed the legs, saved the screws and threw the legs in the burn pile.
